Just to let some of our more enthusiastic users know (so I don't have to answer this question repeatedly 8-), I expect that the four new newsgroups will be in place at all BIOSCI sites by this Thursday, but please watch BIONEWS/bionet.general for an official announcement. The names of the new groups are as follows: Internet: GENETIC-LINKAGE BITNET/EARN: GEN-LINK USENET: bionet.molbio.gene-linkage Description: discussions about genetic linkage analysis Internet: ARABIDOPSIS BITNET/EARN: ARAB-GEN USENET: bionet.genome.arabidopsis Description: information about the Arabidopsis genome project Internet: COMPUTATIONAL-BIOLOGY BITNET/EARN: COMP-BIO USENET: bionet.biology.computational Description: computer and mathematical applications in biology Internet: NEUROSCIENCE BITNET/EARN: NEUR-SCI USENET: bionet.neuroscience Description: research issues in the neurosciences Note that the COMP-BIO newsgroup will be moderated. More details on these groups will be posted later, but please hold off on the use of the groups until the official announcement is posted here. Observant BIOSCI readers may have noticed that the usual BIOSCI info sheet posting on the 1st of month was postponed due to this slight delay. Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson GenBank Manager kristoff@genbank.bio.net
